An ice cream maker in Ocean County faces more than $237,000 in fines after federal officials say employees suffered amputation injuries twice in two years while working on the same machine.
Fieldbrook Foods Corporation in Lakewood, which employs about 200 people, “violated safety standards for preventing accidental machine startup,” the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Monday.
